Review on πŸ”ͺ GBC Paper Shredder 130 Sheet Capacity: Auto Feed, Super Cross-Cut for Small Home Office - Stack-and-Shred 130X (1757571) Black by Eric Wright

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Only a few pages can be automatically fed at a time. Requires a lot of attention and manual intervention.

It can hold 130 sheets of paper, but without careful control and manual operation it certainly cannot shred 130 sheets. You can't put 130 sheets in (or any number), close the door and expect it to burst through the stack. You're lucky if he reads 10 pages before you have to open the door to intervene because he can't grab the next sheet. to grab the next one. The instructions say to open and close the door. If you do this most of the time it just spins around and stops picking up the paper. You end up opening the door, flipping or rearranging the stack, closing the door, and then hopefully a few more pages will be picked up, after which you'll have to repeat the process again. This product requires more manual intervention than any "automated" product I've seen. Their patented "Auto-Feed" requires a lot more work before it can be called an Auto-Feed or patented. You're probably better off using a vertical feed shredder.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Only available in black.
